In order to support such an extensive display, the museum received grants from The Pew Memorial Trust; The Mabel Pew Myrin Trust; the Du Pont Company; and the National Endowment for the Arts, Federal agencies. Additional contributions were made by the Women's Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Campbell Soup Fund, and two slidetapes were supported by grants from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the Delaware Humanities Forum.

The majority of files in this series relate to budgeting and funding. Other records include contracts, conservation information, lists, loans, installation and implementation records, attendance, programming and publicity, and tours to other participating institutions.
